Show time
Jenny: Have you finished your English homework yet, Brian?
Brian: No. I just started writing my poem. Ms. Cox said we could write a story or a poem, right?
Jenny: Yes.I haven't decided which one to write yet. I feel that it's easier to write a story. You should write one, too.
Danny: I don't think so. Compared with poems, stories usually have longer passages. Every story must have a beginning, a middle and an end. It takes too much time to write a story.
Jenny: That's true. But a story doesn't limit you like a poem does. With poems, you need to think about format, rhyme and meaning. You must use words very carefully because so few words are used in poems.
Danny: I know. But I still think it's easier to write a short poem.
Jenny: Although a poem has fewer words, it's not always easier to write. Every word must have power and meaning. If you think about it, it can take a long time to come up with the right words. Sometimes writing less takes more effort than writing more.
Danny: It is hard, but I did it. I described something I love. Would you like to hear my poem?
Brian: You've already finished?
Danny: Yes! It was easy!
Jenny: We'd love to hear your poem, Danny.

Poetry(诗歌) is the forgotten child of literature(文学). Few people read it for 1 . In Western high schools, poetry is 2 taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today’s students.
In China, however, poetry is still an important part of the curriculum(全部课程). Recently, the Ministry of Education(教育部) has increased the 3 of ancient Chinese poems, from 14 to 72, for senior high school students to memorize. 4 is it important to learn poems?
First of all, poetry is a 5 part of learning traditional Chinese culture. It is a path to understanding our history and society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that common people have, which may be hard to express. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger. A good poem can put these feelings 6 words and bring us self-understanding.
Poems can also 7 beauty. In a few short lines, even something common can 8 beautiful. Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read 9 . After all, a poem is a song without music.

Writing poems is not really all that hard. Through writing poems, you learn how to use a language well. 4. G . You have to choose the best words to describe exactly what you feel or what you see.
